It is time to leave the bright lands of the living behind us as the latest Magic the Gathering set prepares to send us mighty Planeswalkers on a Journey into Nyx.

Journey into Nyx will round off the Theros block of Magic releases, continuing the theme of Greek mythology with one of the central themes of those classic tales; the hero’s journey into the depths of the Underworld.

All the packaging has appeared for this new set, including that for the five new starter decks that will be available.

These decks each contain a pretty powerful rare card, although their high cost might limit their use. Out of all of them I would say that Heroes’ Bane and Dawnbringer Charioteers are the best, with a relatively low summoning cost, but the potential to grow exponentially.
